Riverside projects

Riverside project filming on the Thames

Piers, river walls, jetties and riverside developments, filmed from the water and the air as they go up. Progress films, time-lapse and stills for clients, funders and your own team.
From the water side

The angle the site can’t give you

Riverside projects are usually filmed from the land side, but the river front is what everyone sees when the job is finished. We film it from the water and the air on a regular schedule, from the same positions each time, so the progress tells its own story.
How it works

Filming a project as it goes up

Same spot, every time. We log each position, so every visit repeats the same frames from the water and the air, and the progress is easy to compare.

Marine plant. Crane barges, jack-up pontoons and workboats are part of the story, and we know how to film them safely while they work.

Permissions. Filming from the river needs the Port of London Authority’s permission, and drone flights need the airspace approvals for the site. We handle both.

Site rules. We follow your site’s safety rules and inductions, and agree positions with the site team before we fly or come alongside.
